NOTE 3:

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring intellectual property (“IP”) licenses or services to the customer, either at a point in time or over time. The Company recognizes most of its revenues at a point in time upon delivery when the customer accepts control of the IP. The Company recognizes revenue over time on license customization and implementation services by using cost inputs to measure progress toward completion of its performance obligations. The Company considers the post-contract support services as a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time, and as such, revenue is recognized ratably over the service period.

 

Revenues that are derived from the sale of a licensee’s products that incorporate the Company’s IP are classified as royalty revenues. Royalty revenues are recognized during the quarter in which the sale of the product incorporating the Company’s IP occurs. Royalties are calculated either as a percentage of the revenues received by the Company’s licensees on sales of products incorporating the Company’s IP or on a per unit basis, as specified in the agreements with the licensees. Royalty revenues are recognized during the quarter in which the Company receives the actual sales data from its customers after the quarter ends and accounts for it as unbilled receivables. When the Company does not receive actual sales data from the customer prior to the finalization of its financial statements, royalty revenues are recognized based on the Company’s estimation of the customer’s sales during the quarter. This estimation process for the royalty revenue accrual is based on inputs and estimations received from the Company’s customers, as well as sales trends and various market factors. Adjustments to royalty revenues are made in subsequent periods to reflect updated estimates as soon as the final royalty reports are sent to the Company. 

 

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. The estimated revenues do not include amounts of royalties or unexercised contract renewals:

    2,968       3,496  

 

The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual payment schedules; trade receivables are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional, and an invoice is issued to the customer. Unbilled receivables associated with licensing and other include amounts related to the Company’s contractual right to consideration for completed performance objectives not yet invoiced. Unbilled receivables associated with royalties are recorded as the Company recognizes revenues from royalties earned during the quarter, but not yet invoiced, either by actual sales data received from customers, or, when applicable, by the Company’s estimation. Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are realized with the associated revenue recognized under the contract.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $1,454 that was included in deferred revenues (short-term contract liability) balance at December 31, 2025. 

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days.
